About this site

A look behind the scenes of app development, infrastructure, and experimentation from Horizon App Development — a division of Horizon Labs, LLC.

This is the official blog of Horizon App Development — the app and infrastructure division of Horizon Labs, LLC. Here, we share insights, updates, and behind-the-scenes stories from the apps and platforms we’re actively building.

You’ll find posts covering projects like Pill Tracker, a lightweight iOS app for allergy and medication reminders, and Horizon Games Network, our multiplayer gaming platform centered on competitive Survival Games built with Minecraft's Velocity and Paper ecosystems.

We write about what we build:

• App development with React Native, Expo, and TypeScript
• Scalable infrastructure using Docker, Redis, Node.js, and Cloudflare Workers
• Plugin development for Minecraft servers using Java and Redis pub/sub
• The business side of launching apps under a bootstrapped LLC
• Technical challenges, lessons learned, and honest commentary on tools, APIs, and developer experience

But this isn’t just a changelog. Expect long-form reflections on how we approach product design, infrastructure, and launch strategy — along with opinion pieces from contributors and occasional guest posts from developers in our network.

Whether you're an indie dev, infrastructure nerd, or just curious how ideas become polished, scalable products, this blog is for you.

We’re building in public, and sharing everything along the way.
